after downloading it you need to install python ,well by default the python is installed in linux but its an older version to get a new one

type

sudo apt-get install python

after which it asks your password then some files are extracted for a few minutes….python is installed

now put you’ll have a GAE(google app engine ) zip file in downloads …take it from there and put it anywhere like desktop and create a folder GAE and paste the zip file inside it and extract it (press right click and press extract here) you’ll get a folder

now most of the work is done ,but to start you need to sign up for google app engine … you can do it at

but as you can see to the right of the application newproj19 i have running but you dont have it so to activate and run your application

you’ll have a basic program in your google app engine folder go to

as i mentioned [ desktop > GAE > google_appengine > demos >python > guestbook ] (that’s your program) cut and paste it in google_appengine (coz u don’t wanna go to all that every time you need to change the code)

so when you open this you’ll find all these files

ok but out of them the most important are app.yaml file and guestbook.py file

where guestbook.py is the main code html or wateva which shows your page and app.yaml is the linker which

links the project to your application online

anyway

go to terminal and go to the dir of google_appengnine ( by using cd to enter the directory and cd .. to go back a directory and ls to view what documents are there in the folder)

after you’re in the google_appengine folder in your case you should have the guestbook in BLUE color when you enter ls

now if you get the above then it executed correctly ,and you don’t need all that the only important is the last two sentences named INFO go to INFO 1 where you have Running application you have a link 8080:http://localhost:8080

right click on it and press Open link you should get the below pic and when you press ” hi ” and sign

ahaaaa if u got the above pic then you killed it you’re awesome 90% of it is done but yeah there’s just one problem Yup it’s not online yet i.e yes it’s opening in a browser but its not running on GAE

so go to the guestbook folder and open app.yaml folder ,do u see application:guestbook on the first line

well jus change the name to your app-id i.e the name of your application id you created on google engine and save it

mine is newproj19

now go to terminal and press [Ctrl+C] because the server is still running and you need to deploy it (you may hear update,make it online etc all these mean the same thing)
